Ohio: Live-in girlfriend of deceased is suing the estate for monies she "supposedly" contributed to updating home of the deceased while he was alive and they lived together. Deceased had set up revocable trust at the time he drew up will--stock portfolio's are funding the trust--stock portfolio's beneficiary's is the trust--beneficiaries are deceased's son 50%, deceased's mother 25%, live-in girlfriend 25%--Question: Can the funds in the trust be attached (or any part of them) should the Bimbo girlfriend win her suit? The estate that is going through probate consists of the deceased's home, which is mortgaged to the max, some household furnishings of the deceased's (which the Bimbo girlfriend has taken items from claiming they're hers), the deceased's auto, which is up for sale (we think) and which still has a balance on the loan, monies in deceased's personal checking account (about 54K) at time of death--funeral exp. existing bills, house mortage, utilities, etc. & probate and attorney fee's and whatever else will be coming out of this--I am assuming that the trust is not involved in the probate procedure from what I understand--so I'm wondering if she can't get her grubby hands on any trust money should she win her suit what could she possibly get from an estate that will probably have nothing left by the time probate is all said and done. This bimbo didn't have 2 nickels to rub together before she hooked up with the deceased---she thought she found a gold mine but got the shock of her life 3 days after the funeral when it was found out the deceased's stock portfolio's had taken a big hit over the passed year (from 330K down to 50K) and an even bigger shock when she found out she wasn't a beneficiary to any of deceased's insurance policy. Is the trust safe from her suit? Thanks for any information.
